I went to watch Fragile with my ballet friends last Saturday.
Fragile is a contemporary ballet performance presented by JS Dance Theatre. It was so exciting! :D Right after my mum took me home from Mandarin tuition (it was hell), she treated me to GCB for dinner! Fuyoh, miracle. 'Cause given the fact that I'm already so fat and having a hard time losing weight (screw you, metabolism==). She even got me those shaker fries, yumz! Instant 1000000 calories lah, I know, but NVM. After all, life is short. *nods head* Heh.
Upon returning home, I quickly changed into something more formal (not a skirt, don't dream) and secretly stuffed my cammie into my bag. My mum doesn't like me lugging the DSLR around. "Very heavy, and not to mention dangerous! There are a lot of snatch thieves lurking around, you know," according to her. "Better not take it with you." *rolls eyes* Anyway, Caryn had agreed to take me to KLPAC and she suggested I waited at the McDonald's near her housing area. And so I did. Which was weird. 'Cause twenty minutes ago I'd just went to one near MY housing estate. LOL.
Jia Qi was already in the car when I entered, busy 
Caryn on the left.
The journey was kinda long. Caryn's parents wanted to treat us to dinner but I refused to because :
- I'd already had my dinner
- I'd look like my parents never feed me enough food/greedy
- I felt... embarrassed? :/
They ignored my refusal anyway and ordered side dishes for me to munch on. Nice people, very nice indeed. Oh, did I mention we had a vegetarian, NON-FAT meal? >:) Yea, man. (Y) Totally awesome. Wait, I just ate a GCB. Darn...
We arrived there when it was almost 8pm and the entrance to KLPAC was really creepy at night. Looong, daaaaark, deeeeep entrance. Thank God it wasn't the spirits' happy hour. *shivers*
A supposed shot of KLPAC. Dragged the camera before the shutter could, well, shut to capture the whole image, causing it to be blur. #fail It looks artistic to me, though. *indignant*
On the way.
The minute I marched in KLPAC, gawd, I saw Co Ra and Yvonne! My ex schoolmates! JOY! It was a worthy champagne-popping time. I rushed over and hugged them till they choked (teehee, exaggerating, but you get the point).
Yvonne and Colala! 8D
I admit it, I was torn apart to whom I was supposed to mingle with before the performance started - my ballet friends or my ex mates? I chose my ex mates, in the end. After all, when will I have the chance to see them again? God knows. We chatted like old friends (we ARE old friends!) but sadly, the seating started right on time. We queued up to get in.
Not as many audience like the time I went to watch Cinderella presented by Dance Space.
Ballet flats. My first girly pair of shoes on the right. D: Thanks to my mum; she bought it for me to wear on the day I took my piano exam. Sigh, piano exam... :'(
They were sitting so far behind. :( We'd continued chatting through the phone, though. Yes, I called them before the show started. :P
The performance started and I was all set to snap a picture but mana tau a deep voice boomed throughout the whole theatre saying, "Any forms of photography and videography are strictly prohibited unless prior authorisation has been granted." Sad, sad world. :'( We sat through the dark while watching the dancers rolling around on the ground. Clearly, I didn't understand what was going on; the dancers were everywhere, doing stuff that made zero cow sense.
I roughly knew it was something to do with this guy liking this girl who didn't like him and liked another guy instead. The guy who the girl liked had a lot of issues and seemed to be mentally harmed, constantly fighting with himself to stay sane. In the end, he died and was placed in a glass coffin(?) with the rest of the dancers dancing around him. Damn sick and weird. ._. The girl was devastated and the guy who liked the girl wanted to stop her from seeing the dead guy but she refused to and went to see him - she even danced around on the coffin. Ohh-kayyy.
Wait, did what I said make any sense? LMAO.
Went back after that.
The performance ended abruptly; I even thought there was a next show and continued sitting there like a dog. -_- I couldn't say it was disappointing 'cause the dancers had performed so well with magnificent skills and techniques but sad to say, I felt... dissatisfied after watching the show. Perhaps it's because I don't get the whole storyline? :/ Argh, feeling so shallow right now. Maybe contemporary ballet isn't my thing. Oh, well.
Oh, and before I end, I must say this one last crucial thing :
THAT GUY WHO LIKED THE GIRL TILL THE END IS SO BODOH. THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER GIRLS OUT THERE LAH. DON'T BE LAZY AND OPEN YOUR EYES WIDER TO FIND ONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE A CRUSH ON DEAD BODIES.
Enough said. Thank you. x)
